Sports Performance Benefits

The Triangle Drill improves quickness and agility for short sprints and fast changes of direction. It teaches you to control your body and maintain a ready stance so you'll be able to react quickly to any event on the field, court or ice. The drill also improves reaction time, because you must wait for a partner’s cue before sprinting to a cone—similar to how you need to react to the ball, puck or opponent during a game.

How To

Set up three different colored cones 10 feet apart in a triangle. Assume an athletic position in the center of the triangle

Have a partner call out a cone color

Sprint to the specified cone, stop at the cone and sprint back to the center of the triangle
